Hotel Du Vin Poole is often praised for its prime location near the sea front and in the heart of Poole's historic district, making it convenient for exploring the area, including the quayside and ferry port. Guests frequently mention the spacious and well-appointed rooms, some featuring roll-top baths, coffee machines, and stylish décor, although a few have noted that some bathrooms could use updating.

The room was quite large and included a comfy bed. The bar area had a nice ambiance. I appreciated the restaurant area. It felt inviting.
The breakfast was only average. Pastries were not always replenished. The car park was very tight. It was difficult to maneuver a larger vehicle in there and I had a hard time.

wheelchair friendly stay!

reserved parkingair conditioning
i stayed four nights and the wheelchair access was so important for me. the accessible room had a big wet room and was very comfortable. the food in the bistro and breakfast was excellent!
i wish the air conditioning system wasn't a nightmare. i could hear the compressor even when it was off. it even turned itself on once! the noise made it hard to sleep, maybe some soundproofing could help.
